Rough subfloor after removing the old floor

Old floor removal

From old floor to bare base

Old floors often leave adhesive, underlay or carpet residue behind. It has to go before levelling or laying, otherwise the compound won’t bond properly or the residue will show through.

We remove the old floor, machine-sand away adhesive residue and make the subfloor dust-free. Then we look together at what is needed: levelling, or a new floor straight away.

We are happy to include removal in the complete job, but it can also be booked separately.

I gave Ali 5 stars because the work was delivered properly and contact went smoothly. Ali responds quickly, lets you know where you stand, is transparent about pricing and I am happy with the levelled floor!

Ali helped us very well, neatly, quickly and kindly. It was not an easy job, as he first had to repair someone else’s work before he could start levelling. I definitely recommend Ali.
